Just a poem about an old woman

Dusted with determination her bent old body plows a furrow in the field of time. She has bled into the earth, eaten unleavened bread with sacramental wine Old Mother seasoned with sorrow, proud of her pain and the daily acts of contrition that may bring absolution, or that may crumble like the gauzy wings of moths

Ah, that old fashioned determination would not serve us well today
Forgiveness is the key, thanks for sharing this lovely poem. Sherry.

While your old woman shows definite signs of her age, there are strong religious overtones going back to the title suggesting that she is being punished.

Heart-felt and deeply moving. It's simplicity belies its depth. Excellent.
